I am going to wait until Apple guides me through this issue. It works for a majority of people, but a small percentage it is not working. Again, ATV, MBP, and my iPad and iPhone are not able to upload iOS 5.1. 1 Infinite Loop is trying to work this out today. We just have to be patient.

I have been having the same issue since the morning. None of the ways that are discussed here helped me. I have been getting an error message saying that it couldnt find the Apple update server, both from my mac, ipad and my iphone. Maybe it is because of Turkey's connection. But it is pretty odd.

Call in to Apple. I did and if enough people do it they will do something about it.

Spent an hour on the phone with Apple Technical Support this morning. They had me jump threw a hundred hoops but nothing worked. I don't think at that time they had any idea that the problem was at Apple, rather than with me. I was finally told to wait a few days and I should be able to download 5.1 on both iPhones.

I agree that Apple is falling apart. I can't even do computer backups anymore. Something do do with a "trial limit of 100MB exceeded". I am simply trying to backup on my own external hard drive. Why are they making things so complicated?

If you have tried all of the methods listed above, could you tell me what error message you got when you tried the instructions I wrote up at the trialsandtribstech.blogspot.com link?

It worked for me because it bypasses the Apple servers and downloads iOS 5.1 from an alternate source... However, if it is not working for other people, I may be able to find out why and fix my tutorial.

I found a solution that worked for me and it should work for most people, but ideally I want to find a solution for everybody.
